June 24, 1812 - Napoleon's army, crossing the Neman River, invaded the territory of the Russian Empire.

🔻The Patriotic War of 1812 began. By that time, the population of the French Empire, together with its vassal states, reached 71 million people while the population of Russia was only 41 million.

🔻Napoleon included 678 thousand people and 2.8 thousand artillery pieces in the army prepared for the invasion of Russia. The number of Russian troops on the western borders was much less numerous - about 220 thousand people and 942 guns.

🔻Anyway, the Patriotic War of 1812 led to the decline of Napoleon's empire. Before he started the war against Russia, no one in Europe could stop his troops and prevent the implementation of his political plans.
